Now it’s easy to capture your favourite moments as sumptuous stills or HD movie clips with the slim, stylish new Sony Cyber-shot T500. Available in a choice of eye-catching piano black, silver and red finishes, the chic Sony T500 is packed with Sony technology to help everyone take better-looking pictures. Alongside sparkling 10.1 effective megapixel still image quality, the Sony CyberShot T500 is the first digital camera that can capture crisp, clear HD movie clips with stereo sound.

It’s easy to switch instantly between still and movie modes at the touch of a conveniently placed button on top of the camera. You can even grab crisp still images (1280x720 pixels) without interrupting video shooting.
